    Maybe the 500 Euro price is what 034 bought them for in bulk since they were doing the group buy? So that was 034's cost after they purchased several sets.

I didn't know at the time until I got the receipt that they were only $500 Euro. I travel to Germany fairly regularly and would have driven down to Wagner to pick them up. Here is the receipt that was enclosed in the box as 034 had them dropped shipped to me.
    P.S. 034 are still selling them at $1995 which is way too much although Wagner now lists them for $1990 Euro w/19% VAT which would put them around over $2000 U.S. without VAT.

    They didn't offer hoses until about 3 years ago, only the Venaire were available (6pc kit). The hoses Wagner started offering were only a 4pc kit.

    Why'd you get them? Are you having any issues with the stock hoses at 20psi?

    Just checked my RS6 and I definitely have the Wagner CF shrouds. I'll have the ICs and shrouds out this weekend. $1100 firm including shipping in the lower 48.

    So very very tempted! Any chance you can run a pressure check on them, be sure there's no leaking? Hoses and grilles come to ~$400 shipped from wagner, so this would be the FULL full kit for ~$1500. Almost too good a deal to pass up, assuming the IC's don't leak and the parts are all in working order...

    Sure once they're off I'll pressure test them, take pictures and give a detailed report of their condition. I'm assuming they'll be in excellent condition since I've only put 10-15K miles on the car since installing them. lswing has first dibs on them though.

    Excellent! Been looking at these for years. Luckily my stock IC's have been really good, have just a tiny leak starting in one...

    $1100 sounds like a great price, especially if your stocks are already leaking.

    Surprised you still have the RS6 Marc. Is there any Audi to replace the RS6 with?

    Not really...

    The new S6 is cool but it's outclassed by its competitors and it's questionable at best if the stock trans will last long term under higher than stock torque levels with lots of hole shots.

    The new S8 is too expensive, heavy and has a boring automatic transmission like the RS6. Pretty disappointing that they couldn't find a beefy dual clutch trans for that car.

    C6 RS6 sedan? Now that's what I want but it's risky buying one over there if you get caught trying to sneak it in here. Plus I'd have to listen to all the FMVSS safety nitwits on here morning noon and night.

    I'm waiting to drive the RS7 when it shows up this fall...will be a nice companion to my rs6 project...

    Looking forward to the IC's, 90 here this week!

    Been contemplating a CO2 cooling system for them also, figure it would cool the engine bay a touch also...

    Shooting for one night this week before the holiday weekend. I also have to do the rotors and install my new tires. I'll keep you posted.
